The Showcase, inaugurated in 2006, is an opportunity for San Antonio’s outstanding young pianists to perform in recital. Performers include winners of several prestigious pre-collegiate competitions including The Janice K. Hodges Competition, The Junior Tuesday Musical Club Competition and the Texas Music Teachers’ Association Local Performance Contest.
